Development of a high-density linkage map and mapping of the three-pistil gene (Pis1) in wheat using GBS markers

Abstract Background The wheat mutant line three-pistil (TP) exhibits three pistils per floret. As TP normally has two or three seeds in each of the florets on the same spike, there is the possibility of increasing the number of grains per spike. Therefore, TP is a highly valuable mutant for breeding...
